 I like to keep track of what the codebase looks like
 
 ![picture](code.png)
+
+# Requirements
+
+Make sure you have isntalled:
+- make
+- jq
+- GNU sed (If on macos `bew install gnu-sed` and change references to sed -> gsed)
+- docker
+- [OpenTofu](https://opentofu.org/) _open source terraform_
+- go
+
+Optional
+- [codevis](https://github.com/sloganking/codevis) - _make the pretty picture_
+- [air](https://github.com/cosmtrek/air) - hot reload
+
+# How to run
+
+## Infrastructure
+
+infrastructure is deployed via terraform. It also makes some assumptions about the GCPenvironment its being deployed into.
+Those main assumptions that it has the preston-baxter.com hosted zone. You may need to change this to make this terraform template work for You
+
+### Terraform Variables
+
+Contents of `terraform.tfvars`
+
+```toml
+project_id = "pbaxter-infra"
+project_region = "us-central1"
+webhook_service_tag = "0.2.1"
+frontend_service_tag = "0.2.1"
+```
+
+You only need to specify the `project_id` and `project_region`
+
+Both of the serice tags will be updated automatically via `make deploy`
+
+### Run Terraform
+
+You can either cd into the `infra/` direcrotry and run `make deploy`
+or
+You can run `make deploy-tf` from the root directory
+
+## Services
+
+The webook service is located in the `service/` directory
+The frontend service is located in the `ui/` directory
+
+Both services get ran the same way. What works will one will work for the other
+
+### Config
+
+Sample config
+``` yaml
+jwt_secret: some_random_string_that_is_long_but_not_too_long
+env: test
+mongo:
+  uri: "mongodb://localhost:27017"
+  ent_db: capstoneDB
+  ent_col: entities
+  lock_db: capstoneDB
+  lock_col: locks
+app_settings:
+  webhook_service_url: localhost:8080
+  frontend_service_url: localhost:8080
+vendors:
+  pco:
+    client_id: "test_client_id"
+    client_secret: "test_secret"
+    scopes:
+      - 'people'
+      - 'calendar'
+      - 'services'
+    auth_uri: "https://api.planningcenteronline.com/oauth/authorize"
+    token_uri: "https://api.planningcenteronline.com/oauth/token"
+    refresh_encode: json
+  youtube:
+    client_id: "test_client_id"
+    client_secret: "test_secret"
+    scopes:
+      - "https://www.googleapis.com/auth/youtube"
+      - "https://www.googleapis.com/auth/youtube.force-ssl"
+      - "https://www.googleapis.com/auth/youtube.download"
+      - "https://www.googleapis.com/auth/youtube.upload"
+    auth_uri: "https://accounts.google.com/o/oauth2/v2/auth"
+    token_uri: "https://oauth2.googleapis.com/token"
+    refresh_encode: url
+  test:
+    client_id: "client_id"
+    client_secret: "client_secret"
+    scopes:
+      - "scope 1"
+      - "scope 2"
+    auth_uri: "server/auth"
+    token_uri: "server/token"
+    refresh_encode: url
+```
+
+Config is expected at `/etc/capstone/config.yaml`
+
+### Run service locally
+
+Both services are configured with [air](https://github.com/cosmtrek/air). Air is a hot reload tool that speeds up the development process. It is particularly useful for working on the frontend service
+
+To run locally, cd into the service directory and run `air`
+
+### Make Docker Container
+
+from the root directory
+
+```bash
+make build-service
+make build-ui
+```
+
+### Run Docker Container Locally
+
+```bash
+docker run -p 8080:8080 -it webhook-service:latest
+docker run -p 8080:8080 -it frontend-service:latest
+```
+
+# Deploy
+
+Make suer versions are updated in `versions.json`
+
+```bash
+make deploy
+```
+
+Its that easy
+
+NOTE: You may be asked to approve a change set.
